~Your POV~

The next day, "Ahh! I feel so refreshed!" yawned Katsumi as she sat. "Me too," "Uhh...who are you?" asked the finally awake Sakura. "Oh, we’re Sakura’s older sisters. We are now traveling with you. You see, we used to be in Sakura’s b-" said Mayumi only receive a huge bonk on the head from Katsumi. "Remember what Sakura said last night ‘Too much information could hurt or endanger their lives....And no one wants to be hurt’" hissed Katsumi in her ear. "Oi...I just had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that a part of the dragon necklace fell onto me," you groaned while rubbing your head as you sat up. "Sa-Sakura...you’re back! I mean you’re big again," said Mayumi. "Mayumi, Katsumi? What are you two doing here?!" Mayumi snickered and pointed at you. You looked down and screamed. "What’s wrong?!!?" shouted Kurogane as he slammed open the door following him were Syaoran and Fai. Their mouths hung open and their eyes widened like watermelons. You were sitting on the bed with the blanket covering your lower part naked! You had both arms wrapped around your chest while turning your body away. "S-Sakura," stammered Syaoran. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU PERVERTS!!!" you screamed with a crimson blush appearing on both sides of your face. "Hyuu!" said Fai as they ran away while you threw stuff at them. You fumed silently as you wrapped the blanket around you and then a piece of the dragon necklace fell to the ground. "Eh? So it wasn’t a dream..." you muttered. "Umm...you might want these," said Sakura as she handed you your clothes. You nodded and put them on. ~I guess I should apologize to the guys~ you sighed as you opened the door. Apparently Syaoron was bowing apologetically in front of you the second you opened the door. "I’m so sorry! We didn’t mean to peek at you! We heard a scream and we thought that maybe something might have happened," he apologized the whole time looking down. Kurogane had a crimson blush across his face as he apologized as well. Fai smiled awkwardly and apologized. "It’s alright guys, really. It’s ok. I know you didn’t mean to. I apologized for my behavior just now. I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you guys. It wasn’t your fault," "Yeah but-" started Syaoran but Fai cut him off "You know, you looked really cute in that position. Could you do that again?" he smiled. You felt a blush appear on your cheeks but you just smiled. "Oh, you mean like this?" you asked. You loosened the strap on the middle section of your cape and Fai whistled. You unsheathed your sword from underneath and started chasing him around with it. "I’M GONNA MAKE YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE NEVER BORN FAI D. FLOWRIGHT!!!" you yelled while chasing him. He started running like mad but you soon caught up and jumped onto his back. "Ahhh!" he cried as you started tickling him like nuts. "You’re a dead man!! Suffer!!!" you laughed as he was on the floor laughing. "Enough! I give up! I give up! Uncle! Uncle!" You finally let go of him and he was heaving and panting heavily. "Well now that that’s over why don’t we all come into our room for a talk?" smiled Katsumi. Everyone nodded and went into your room. "Well, how did you return to your normal form anyway Sakura?" asked Syaoran. "I dunno. But I think this might have something to do with it," you said while holding up half of the dragon necklace. "H-how did you get that?" stammered Kurogane in surprise. "I’m not sure but...all I know is that my mother gave it to me," "Well that pretty much answers Kurogane’s question," said Fai. "It does?" everyone said in unison. "Well, we know that Sakura’s mother is a goddess so, she must have had it all this time and gave it to her daughter, Sakura, when she needed it," "Oh...I see," said Syaoran. "Well I don’t," said Kurogane. "You don’t have to Kuro-pi. Because you look even cuter when you don’t understand," said Mayumi while hugging his arm. "Eh? Now don’t you start with that as well," he warned with a small seat drop. "Kuro-mi you look so cute when you’re mad!" she squealed as she hugged him tighter. "Get off! And don’t call me those weird names and don’t call me cute!" he shouted. "No!" "I said get off!" "No!" you just smiled and shook your head. You then motioned the others to leave the room. Everyone smiled as they got up and left leaving Kurogane alone with Mayumi. "Hey! Hey!! Sakura you witch!!! Don’t leave me!! GUYS!!!" he yelled as you slowly closed the door behind you.

"Well, I guess we’d better start looking for the other half of the necklace," said Fai casually with his hands behind his head as everyone was walking through the almost deserted town. Exception of bandits, beggars and a few poor people. "Hey Mokona, could you try to pick up any waves of strong magic quite similar to Sakura’s around?" you asked. Mokona closed his eyes and everyone was silent for awhile when he suddenly said "Behind you!!" you whipped around and you saw the guys from the other day. You know the one that you pummeled into the ground. "Heh, I was hoping that I could get even with the little girl but she’s not here right now. Well, I might as well take it out on you guys!" he smirked as he threw a punch at Sakura who was closets to him. "Princess!" said Sakura. But you got in the way and caught his blow with your left hand. Your eyes sharpened and looked at him giving him the ‘you’re going to die’ look. His eyes widened in realization as he said "I-it’s you!!" you smirked at his fear and said "The girl who kicked your butt," you were just about to punch his face in when you were blasted a few feet back by something. Everyone’s eyes widened as you wiped away the blood from your mouth. "What the heck’s going on?!" shouted Syaoran. "Heh I bet you weren’t expecting this," he smirked as he held up the other half of the necklace. "The necklace! Give it back!" you shouted as you reached forward to grab it. The necklace glowed and you were suddenly kneed in the gut by a duplicate of your self making you crumble to the ground in pain. "Sakura!" shouted Fai. "What the heck?" you muttered under your breath as you coughed up blood. ~That hurt...~ you thought as you struggled to get up. But then she stepped on your head pushing you to the ground. "Hah! This necklace enables me to create another you copying all of your strengths and skills. It’s a pity I can only make one," he laughed. "Darn you..." you growled only to have your head pushed harder into the ground. The guys and your sisters charged at the man and the duplicate you but a group of men got in their way and started to fight them. You saw Katsumi about to rip off one of their heads and you yelled "Don’t kill them! They’re being mind controlled. They’re innocent!" Katsumi stopped in mid slice and jumped back. "Oh this makes it much easier!" she said sarcastically. "If only Kurogane and Mayumi were here. Then this would be easier to fight!" said Syaoran. They heard a thump and they saw your duplicate fall down and the real you get up. You unsheathed your sword as she got up and she unsheathed hers. You both jumped at each other and used all kinds of moves while running about. Then no one knew who was who. They heard princess Sakura scream and Syaoran turned around. Apparently a man was about to hit her with a pole when Kurogane sliced the pole in half. "Kurogane!" shouted Syaoran. Then Kurogane just nodded and he started fighting off the men alongside Mayumi. "Hey kid! Where’s that little witch?!" "She’s-" The wall of a building just blast right open and you were defending yourself with your sword from yourself who was on top of you trying to push you down. "Who the what the how the what the huh??" said Mayumi in confusion while pointing at the two of you. "Long story short the guy has the other half of the necklace and he created another Sakura," said Fai while knocking out a few men. You were the one on the top. The one at the bottom kicked you off and you did a back flip and charged back at her.

About ten minutes later the guys had knocked out all of the people but the man was nowhere to be seen.

"So, who’s who?" asked Kurogane.

"I have no idea. The necklace has copied Sakura to absolute perfection," said Fai.

"Even we can’t tell who’s who," said Katsumi and Mayumi nodded in agreement.

"This is bad..." whimpered Sakura.

"We’ll just have to let Sakura fight her own battles," said Syaoran.

Everyone just nodded and looked at the two of you. ~Man! This is tiring! I’d better tell the others to find the necklace~ "Hey guys! Why don’t you look for the other half of the necklace!?" both of you shouted. "Umm...yeah," said Syaoran as they ran off. ~Great! Now I can concentrate on my battle!~ you thought as you jumped back and threw your sword at her like a spear. She deflected it and you turned your arms into swords and then charged at her.

Further on, the others finally found the guy hiding away while laughing to himself. "Let’s get him," said Kurogane while unsheathing his katana. Mayumi placed a hand on his arm and stopped him "Naturally I’d agree with you but, all of us aren’t a match to the necklace’s power. You saw what it did to Sakura," she said. Katsumi nodded and said "We have to take it from him without him knowing it," "Yeah but how?" asked Syaoran. "We could always try knocking him out," suggested Fai. No one could think of anything else so they agreed. Kurogane and Fai slowly lowered Syaoran behind the guy. Just before Syaoran had a chance to knock him out, the man spun around and used the power of the necklace to blast Syaoran through the building making it collapse on top of him. "Syaoran!" shouted Fai wide eyed. As the dust cleared they saw Syaoran unconscious with some rocks on top of him. In front of him was Mayumi who was holding up the building. "Look out!" shouted Kurogane as he pushed Fai out of the way of a dragon. "Where the hell did that come from?!" he said while unsheathing his katana. The dragon lunged towards Fai and Kurogane who jumped out of the way. The man started laughing "With this I’m invincible! No one can kill me! I’m a god-" he stopped short as he dropped the necklace making the dragon disappear. "What the?" muttered Kurogane as he and Fai looked at the man. Protruding out of his gut was a long broad blade. Behind him was Katsumi who was smirking. "You witch!" he spat as Katsumi pushed the sword further in. "You say you’re a god and that you’re invincible. But, you’re nothing!" and with that she pulled the sword vertically upwards slicing him in half. "Gruesome..." smirked Kurogane. "A little help would be appreciated!" grunted Mayumi whose strength was failing. "Right!" They all ran to help Syaoran out of the rubble. When he was clear Mayumi let go of the roof and got out before it caved in. Katsumi made her sword disappear as she picked up the necklace half. "So much trouble from such a little thing..." she muttered. "What was that Katsumi-san?" asked Fai. "N-nothing," she stammered. "C’mon. Let’s go find Sakura," said Kurogane who had Syaoran on his back.

When the returned they found you on the floor with blood everywhere. "Sakura!"
